|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Completion of 12 weeks double-blind treatment in Study 905-CL-055. 2. Written informed consent has been obtained. 3. Subject is willing and able to complete the micturition diary and questionnaires correctly. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any significant PVR (>150 mL). 2. Known history or diagnosis of any of the following urinary conditions: - Recurrent symptomatic urinary tract infection defined as two or more episodes of such infection occurring in the preceding 12 months - Urological Pain Syndromes as classified by the European Association of Urology (EAU) Guideline on Chronic Pelvic Pain, up-date 2008, such as interstitial cystitis including bladder pain syndrome, urethral pain syndrome, penile pain syndrome, prostate pain syndrome, scrotal pain syndrome, testicular pain syndrome, post-vasectomy pain and epididymal pain syndrome - Chronic prostatitis comprising type A (inflammatory) and type B (noninflammatory) - Evidence of current symptomatic or asymptomatic urolithiasis - Previous or current malignant disease of the pelvic and urogenital organs with the exception of carcinoma of bladder if longer than 5 years recurrence-free - Previous pelvic radiation therapy - Previous surgery to the bladder neck or prostate - Bladder neck stenosis - Urethral stricture 3. Narrow angle glaucoma, myasthenia gravis, severe gastrointestinal condition (including toxic megacolon), hiatal hernia, gastroesophageal reflux or subjects at risk for these conditions, urinary or gastric retention or any other medical condition, which in the opinion of the investigator presents a contraindication for the use of anticholinergics. 4. Any other cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases such as a clinically relevant history of orthostatic hypotension, which in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study. 5. Use of prohibited concomitant medication: - Other pharmacological treatment used for LUTS/BPH, such as alpha-adrenoceptor (α-AR)-antagonists, plant extracts and 5α-reductase inhibitors. - Other drugs which may influence the pharmacodynamic effects of solifenacin or tamsulosin, anticholinergics, or cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 inhibitors or inducers that may influence the PK of solifenacin or tamsulosin. 6. Use of combined α/ß-AR-antagonists, α2-agonists, oral and systemic β-agonists, cholinergics and any drugs with cholinergic or anticholinergic side effects, or diuretics. However, long term therapy (>1 month prior to randomization in Study 905-CL-055) with a stable dose of these drugs is permitted. Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors are only permitted on demand for erectile dysfunction. 7. Diabetic neuropathy. 8. Planned cataract surgery during the study or within 30 days after completion of the study. 9. Severe renal impairment (including hemodialysis) or moderate or severe hepatic impairment. 10. Any clinically significant condition, which in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for the trial. 11. Employee of the Astellas Group, the Contract Research Organizations (CROs) involved, or the investigator site executing the study.
